Named for co-founder and winemaker Stephen Black, Mr. Black's Little Book is a nod to his background in pharmaceuticals. This Shiraz from a popular boutique family winery will be rich and robust with a silky texture and full of the dark fruit character so beloved in Barossa Shiraz. Enjoy this with beef brisket or peppercorn steak. |
